Bet on the Right Horse: Mentors, Relationships & Recovery Truths #RecoveryWisdom #PathForward

Decades later, after covering pro football and facing layoffs, a health pause let him finish "Dogs Chase Cars," a novel about a columnist forced to choose between career glory and the relationship that completes him. Evergreen lessons emerge on tough-love mentoring, the slow death of family dinner tables, fake news fatigue, and why relationships remain central to mental health and recovery.
